Welcome to the family! I just got my ref.177 last month and I love it! I hope you enjoy your watch as much as i have mine and then some. I love some of their watches and hate others. Nomos is amazing watch for the money nonetheless. Too bad about not having a display caseback because they have the most nicely finished movements in the 1000-5000 price range. You are right about the lugs. Unnaturally long but that is part of their image and calling card. I made a mock up of mine before pulling the trigger. Some of their watches also have the all dial dinner plate effect to contend with also. 🥂

@azangana197311 ай бұрын
Great video with honest comments. For me, the case design is horrible, and they just about get away with it thanks to the dial design. The long lugs leaves a big gap between the case and the strap/bracelet, where it looks like you're not using original parts. Simply moving the spring bar holes closer to the case fixes this. For the price, it really should have applied markers too. But at you rightly point out, this is marketed as a budget swiss option. Re-assuringly budget, so you don't feel like you've spent too much for your child's graduation, but in actual fact you have. So many better options out there.

It is a nice enough watch but, in my humble opinion, a few marks away from a grail status. The California dial has always struck me as someone having lost track of their task at hand. Otherwise the simplicity of the dial is rather elegant. The hands fit the dial size quite well. The small second is a worthwhile complication. Are the numerals printed on? They don't appear to be applied but the relative loft/distance from the dial would suggest maybe filled numbers -? At any rate if this is your grail watch cna I talk you out of your Tudor, or maybe the Breitling?

As much as I want to like it, and I do really like the dial color, there are a couple things that just seem off to me. First, I think it would have been better to have the seconds hand be a color other than orange. Second, the lume appears to be applied a little off of the rest of the print on the “2” in the “12”; while it is probably not that noticeable without the macro, it is just sloppy for the price. Neat watch, but a bit of a miss for me.
